12 Claims.

This invention relates to a shaving cabinet adapted to bemounted on orrecessed in the wall of the bathroom below or at one side of the medicine cabinet.

My invention has for one of its objects to provide a device of the character stated which will include a shaving kit, and kit-carrying means mounted for movement into or out of the cabinet, said means being adapted to be supported by the cabinet door when outside or the cabinet.

My invention has for a further object to provide a device of the character stated wherein the kit and the kit-carrying means will be so constructed as to permit the use of a comparatively shallow cabinet and thus enable the cabinet to be recessed into a comparatively thin wall or partition.

A further object of my invention is to provide a device oi the character stated wherein the kitcarrying means will embody a member of substantially inverted U-form provided at its ends with means for supporting it for free movement into or out of the cabinet, and wherein the kit will be mounted on its carrying means for movement into a horizontal or vertical position, the kit being located at right angles with relation to its carrying means when in horizontal position and being arranged in the plane in which the carrying means is located when in vertical posiizlon.

A still further object of my invention is to .provide a device of the character stated wherein the kit may be easily and quickly opened and moved into its horizontal position and wherein the opened kit will be supported against turning movement by its carrying means when in such position.

A iurther object is to provide apparatus of this character which will be formed or a few strong, simple and durable parts, which will be inexpensive to manufacture, and which will not easily get out or order.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter iully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be, resorted to within the scope of the appended claims without departing irom the spirit or sacrificing any or the advantages oi the invention.

In the accompanyingdrawing forming a part of this specification:

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a shavinvention recessed in the wall or a bathroom I below the medicine cabinet.

line 5- 5 of Figure 4.

Figure 6 i a front elevation of the cabinet shown in Figure 4 with the track shown in sec- Rei'erring now to the drawing in which like characters of reference designate similar parts in the various views, Ill designates a shallowrectangular cabinet adapted to be recesed into the wall I i of a bathroom at one side of or below the medicine cabinet l2, or to be mounted on the wall, there being openings l3 formed in the back of the cabinet to receive screws or other connectors. The cabinet is provided with a door I having ventilating and drainopenings ii therein and having a sheet It of pasteboard on its inner face to support a razor or other accessory when the door is opened to form a shelf.

Track rails ll are mounted on the inner face of the door and extend along the bottom II of the cabinet. The track nails are each provided with hinges I! which constitute the door hinges. It will be pointed out that when the door is closed an Open space illexists between the bottom or the door and the cabinet, see Figure 2, to ventilate the cabinet aswell as to dry out a shaving brush 2| which is supported by a spring clip 22 on one or the legs 23 or an inverted U-shaped kit car-- rier 24, see Figure 6. 7

The inverted U-shaped kit carrier 24 is provided on the bottom of each leg with an integral guide 25 which slidably receives a respective track rail I! so that the kit-carrier is mounted for movement into or out of the cabinet and is supported by the cabinet' door when outside of the cabinet x A conventional shaving kit 28 is mounted on :the kit-carrier 24. The kit is of the so called book type comprising two hollow covers 21 hingedly connected together and provided with slide fasteners 28.

The kit is secured to the kit-carrier 24 through the medium or nested links 2! pivotally connected ing cabinet constructed in accordance with the I; togethea'one of the links being PivotalLv conneoted to the horizontal portion or the kit-carrier by a pivot pin Ill and the other terminal link being pivotally connected'to the kit ll by a. pivot pin 3| whichls equipped with a nut I2, see Figure 4. to permit detachment of the kit when it is .desiredtopackinatravelingbagwlrentraveling.

It can now be seen that the kit is mounted from movement on the kit-carrier into a horizontal position, see Figure 4, or into a vertical position, see Figure 3. The kit is located at ri ht angles with relation to the kit-carrier when in horizontal position and is arranged in the vertical position.

The kit-carrier is provided with a finger grip 33, see Figures 2 and 3, by means of which the kit-carrier may be moved out of the cabinet to the operative position shown in Figure 4, and. it will be pointedout that the nut 32 supports the kit against turning movement when in such position.

The back wall of the cabinet is provided with a slot II, see Figure 8, into which used razor blades may be thrust to be discarded into the wall or the bathroom as is customary.

A shell I! is secured to the back wall of the U-shaped kit-carrier having guides on the lower ends of its legs slldably embracing the track rails and adapted to .be moved into the cabinet and to,be moved out of the cabinet'on thetrack rails when the door is rocked to horizontal open position to form a shelf, a book type shaving kit, and a pivot pin having anut detachably connecting the kit to the kit-earrierand preventing turning movement of the kit on the kit-carrier when in operative position for use.

5. A cabinet, comprising a rectangular housing, a door for the housing pivoted at its lower end, a track-im the bottom of the housing, a track carried by the inner face of the door and forming a continuation of the track in the housing when the door is swung downwardly, an inverted U- shaped member slidablymounted at the lower 7 ends of its legs on the tracks, and a kit mounted on the upper end ofthe inverted U-shaped memher and adapted to be extended beyond the same.

6. A cabinet, comprising a rectangular housing, adoor for the housing pivoted at its lower end, a track in the bottom of the housing, a

- track carried by the inner face of the door and cabinet by rivets I! or other connectors and may be used to support various other toilet accessories. When thekit-carrier is drawn out of the casing on to the open door it can be seen that the nested links 25 may be swung forwardly or at'variouslateral angular positions to conveniently locate the kit in horizontal position for use. 1

For opening and closing the cabinet door ll a knob 31 is secured to the front face of the door near the top of the door, see Figure 2. w
